Stronger

We'll become much, much STRONGER!

Ash's POV

I zipped up my coat as I walked outside. On the side of the building, just like every other building or store there was a battle field. Trees surrounded it with a pathway on one of the sides. A bench on each side, behind the box that the battlers stand in. In the middle were Sawyer and Clemont chatting, with Sawyer's Pokemon playing around behind them.

" Shall we see what you got? " I asked when I got close enough for them to hear me.

" You bet! " Sawyer exclaimed, stepping out of his conversation with Clemont.

" I'll wait until your done! " Clemont said and made his way off to the side.

" So, who's first? " I questioned while looking at his team, getting loud,excited cheers as a response.

Max's POV

" Come look at this! " I yelled at everyone else.

We were all talking with each other in our room, when I looked outside and saw Ash and some dark green haired kid that I know I saw before. I think he was at the beginning ceremony, when they were introducing people and the rules.

Everyone crowded around the window trying to look out at the battle field.

Pikachu was blocking incoming attacks with iron tail, his opponent was, Aegislash. Ash and the other trainer seemed to chatting a lot during this, it seems that this wasn't a battle.

Well if they aren't battling then I guess I'll challenge Ash myself. I'll show him just how strong I am, we've been training a lot since we got beat by that Bonnie girl.

" I'm gonna go challenge him! " Misty shouted and grabbed her jacket and Pokeballs.

" No fair, I want too! " I whined.

" Snooze you lose! " She smirked, stuck her tongue out and left out the door.

" Well, I'm gonna go watch her lose. " Tracy commented and calmly walked out the door.

" That's really rude, Tracy! " Dawn called after him.

" Tell someone who cares, Ms. Never had a date. " He yelled back.

Everyone else grabbed a jacket or coat of some kind and followed the others outside. We caught up to Misty who was ahead of the group, Dawn and Tracy were just giving each other death stares.

" ASH! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A BATTLE! " Misty yelled, getting their attentions.

Both trainers and their Pokemon stared at us. Ash looked at us with an expression that said ' What the fuck? ' .

Ash's POV

What the fuck? Why is Misty asking me to battle her? Oh yeah, I forgot, they're idiots.

I looked at Sawyer, he nodded his head in approval that it was ok to stop and take her challenge.

" Ok, I accept? " I declared, still unsure if I really should.

" Hey aren't you Sawyer? " Brock asked.

" Yup " He replied and walked twords Clemont, not wanting to carry out a conversation with them.

" Alright, is a 1 on 1 battle ok? " Misty asked as she stood on her side of the field.

I just shrugged my shoulders and replied with, " It's your funeral "

"Whatever, let's go Gyarados " She shouted, throwing a pokeball out onto the field.

The large Pokemoon let out a roar as it appeared.
